Brace yourself. The Detroit City Dog is a beef frank on a grilled focaccia roll topped with pepperoni, mozzarella, crispy garlic and ... wait for it ... chopped basil.

Huh? Chopped basil? Focaccia? Cripsy Garlic? It's not that we don't like those things in general. But it did leave us wondering whether the good folks at Dietz & Watson had ever heard of a coney.

But these hot dog creations, according to a company news release, are meant to be quirky.

Their Detroit creation is based on another area favorite: Detroit-style pizza. So that's were the pepperoni and mozzarella come it. The focaccia bread, they said, "the squared angle and crispy texture ... mirrors what you would find when you order a pie in Motown."

A quick look at the company's website reveals that it hit the mark with other cities. The Baltimore (Orioles) dog has crab meat, Boston (Red Sox) has lobster, and the Philadelphia (Phillies) dog is served on a pretzel bun with Cheez Whiz and caramelized onions. Even the knockwurst on a potato bun for Toronto (Blue Jays) fans is topped with (what else?) fries, cheese curds and gravy.

So if you're looking for a non-coney hot dog inspiration for tonight's MLB All-Star Game, you can find all 30 recipes here.

The game will be played at 8 p.m. on FOX (Channel 2 in Detroit) and MLB network.
